Hi Wilf In my Scots dictionary : Feu (originally) it was a feudal tenure of land where the vassal in place of military service, made a return in grain or in money. (Latterly) is was a holding in which a vassal has the exclusive possession and use of HERITABLE property in return for payment of a feu duty to a superior. a Feu duty was a fixed annual payment. I could find nothing on feuar. Could it mean the owner of the property? Delia
